    Dr. Bansal, his wife, is the same. Genuinely interested in educating patients and ensuring that receive the best possible care.

    This result is just bananas incredible! When I see pics like this, I am reminded that, not too long ago, it was the standard belief that high Norwoods would have disastrous results with an FUE procedure this large, particularly in the donor region. Clinics like Eugenix and doctors like Zarev are pioneering a new frontier in this area of hair restoration. Incredible results @HugoX!

    Can the entire area under the chin be harvested? Not necessarily in a single session but over multiple sessions?
  4. kirkland
    Really looking forward to seeing your progression, OP. I love seeing these megasessions become more commonplace. Really transformative work going on at Eugenix.
  5. kirkland
    This procedure with Eugenix looks like it is off to a good start, @track_rat I hope that you end your HT journey feeling positive about the final results. Good luck!

    Looks like good coverage but it helps to see a baseline picture (what did your hair look like prior to the transplant).
  7. kirkland
    Looks good. Can you share more pics?

    Dr. Bhatti just released a video which would compliment this video well. He talks about how the hair thins at the end of middle age - around 55 or so - when the body boosts the 5ar enzyme which then converts more testosterone to DHT. This would affect all hair, including transplanted hair. When Dr. Wong talks about a young patient, on a DHT blocker, still having thick transplanted hair after a couple of decades out from a HT, age is as much a factor for maintaining the caliber of the hair.

    Eugenix, FueGenix - starting to see a trend here.

    I just discovered this thread - what a journey! The highs, the lows, the highs again! I'm pretty impressed with how Eugenix handled the concerns. They did all the right things - staying in communication, providing compensation with a free touch up. The final result looks great.
  11. kirkland
    Thanks. Sure looked like you had thick donor hair. I assume the beard hair under the chin was thick.
  12. kirkland
    @Zoomsterdid Eugenix do a measurement of the caliber of your donor area? It looks like your donor area is thick. We have similar hair loss patterns and likely similar donor characteristics.
  13. kirkland
    Man, that is really a remarkable result.
  14. kirkland
    Karl should meet @Zoomsteron here. They both had the same level of hairloss, they both went to Eugenix and they both had homerun results!
  15. kirkland
    Yeah - the donor looks fantastic.
  16. kirkland
    @HugoXIf you do get a skin fade on the back and sides, please take pics and upload. Would be really interested in seeing how donor looks in that condition.
  17. kirkland
    I take it back about the thinning areas in the donor region. Just looked at your pics again and the area looks pretty much untouched.
  18. kirkland
    I think this thread is going to get lots of attention after your latest pics get around. Incredible result. You can see some thinness throughout the back of the donor area but it doesn't look bad at all. Great work. Great results.
  19. kirkland
    Looks great - particularly at the 6-month mark.

    The point of fin - topical or oral - is to keep your native hair as healthy as possible. Your donor management is more effective if you can keep what is already there. Otherwise, you are going to lose that hair certainly and then, on top of filling in the existing gaps with a transplant, you are creating more gaps.
  21. kirkland
    Your beard could definitely yield another 2000 grafts at least for a clinic that also does BHT. With the amount of hair you still have left, I never think its a good idea to proceed with a transplant if you aren't taking fin/dut first. Otherwise, you are just going to lose the remaining hair and be left with the transplanted hair in the hairline and mid-scalp.

    I started off on oral minoxidil about 6 months ago with 1.25 mg per day to determine if there were any side effects before moving onto a higher dosage. In the last two months, I have upped my dosage to 2.5 mg per day (1.25 mg in the morning and 1.25 mg in the evening). I have had no side effects so far. Obviously still too early to notice any regrowth, if it happens, but I have noticed that any remaining terminal hairs in my thinning and balding areas are thickening. I have not noticed any significant additional hair growth on the rest of my body.

    So a hair transplant can't be perfect but at this point, perfection is not as important.
  24. kirkland
    The twenty-five year old balding me, making his way in the dating scene and feeling more insecure about my looks, would say that a hair transplant is not a perfect solution. Either shaving my head or getting a hair system would be a better choice. The fifty-three year old me, married with less muscles and more fat, is perfectly content with a head of hair that looks thinning because it is a better choice at this stage of my life.
  25. kirkland
    Besides that word change, however, I wish your patient good growth and great results.
